UK Politics
General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

After the locals.
Need him around to pin that disaster on before switching.
With no obvious successor, an internal party system that doesn't support habitual back stabbing like the Tories have, and a public that is more split than two royal brothers on whose fault all this is, it is going to get messy!
Labour are going to throw so much **** over the next six months, they'll still be stinking come next election.
Oh, and I also believe the reason they've collapsed faster is all the frustration that built over ten years and wiped out the Tories just got transferred to Labour.
People voted for change. and like confused freddie mercury fans, they got Status Quo and they didn't want that.
Yeah. Labour seems to have gotten as far as knowing they needed to talk about change to win the election, but seemed not to realize they had to do something about it after they won.
To be fair to them, it must be really hard to understand the need for change if you are a posh member of parliament. What's wrong with the status quo? Look at all these people licking your boots! /s
